| School mission: | Crichton College is a private, four-year, coeducational institution governed by an independent, self-perpetuating Board of Directors. Crichton combines excellence in higher education with evangelical Christian faith and relates education to the needs of people in contemporary society. The Biblical basis of all programs - a distinctive part of the Crichton curriculum - ensures the centrality of Christian principles in the academic programs, philosophy, and life of the College. Crichton is a Christian liberal arts college where qualified students learn the foundation for life. Crichton offers majors in Biblical Studies, Business, Psychology, Biology, Chemistry, Professional Education, English, History, Liberal Studies, Pre-law, and History. Stressing excellence in teaching in a personalized environment, the faculty encourage students to practice a reasoned and vital faith that will enable them to lead mature and creative lives. While the faculty attend different churches, they all are dedicated Christians committed to the ideals of free inquiry in the pursuit of truth and respect for all people. The student body also represents diverse churches, races, and social backgrounds. The mission of Crichton College is to provide a Biblically oriented education emphasizing the liberal arts and career preparation. All elements of the curriculum are integrated to impart to students a Christian world view and to focus on occupational preparedness, a broad understanding of the arts and sciences, and a personal evangelical faith. |
